RE: #5. Hiking day - Extreme cold weather on mount Snežnik (1796m) - a day to remember!
It looks uncontaminated by pollution I did not know bora could be so strong also around the mountains I thought only around Trieste Italy. Impressive the door lock completely frozen inside I did not expect such cold winter around the mountains in Slovenia. A beautiful country which I visited only in summer thanks also to your great post looks one to keep discovering also during the winter. Enjoy your trips!!!
Yeah i believe that Slovenia is worth visiting in winter as well. Maybe it's not that great as in warmer days, but still a lot to visit. If you are lucky, you can get the Bled lake frozen and walk across to the island there.
I would say Snežnik is the last barrier for bora on this part. And the side from where the wind was blowing was directly from the sea. It was completely calm on the other side of the mountain. But bora is very common for the entire Adriatic region From Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and so on. And it can reach more than 200km/h. Search "pag bridge bura" on youtube :)
Thanks for your response I check it out on youtube it definetely is stronger than at the time I was in Trieste ... Anyaway it is always good to know something new! Enjoy your trips!!
